When the noise turns to silence, says the child to the hangman. How do you stand it then? How can you stand it? They don’t stay children for long.
I tell myself I’m salvation. I tell myself that I am mercy.
Go cut them down in the name of peace. Collecting the wounded and dead when I can’t sleep. I don’t wanna carry these ghosts any further. Teach me anything but murder.
Too soon a boy becomes a soldier. No more child, just a hangman. And knows the sound of being watched and has the look on his face of the prisoner of war.
I try to tell myself that I’m salvation. I try to tell myself that I am mercy.
Go cut them down in the name of peace. Collecting the wounded and dead when I can’t sleep. I don’t wanna carry these ghosts any further. Hold up the mirror now, I’ll put my eyes out. Teach me anything but murder.
I can’t tell myself that I’m salvation. I can’t tell myself that I am mercy.
